WHEN IT’S TIME TO GO TO HEAVEN, I WILL GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY, DANCE, REJOICE, COME HOME, EAT POUNDED YAM AND GO – NO SICKNESS AT ALL.
BY GOD’S GRACE I’VE BEEN A REGULAR VISITOR TO PRISONS NOT AS AN INMATE BUT AS A PASTOR SINCE 1975.
JESUS TOOK FORTY STRIPES, ONE STRIPE FOR EACH THIRTY-NINE CATEGORIES OF SICKNESS AND DISEASE AND ONE EXTRA BECAUSE OF THOSE THAT ARE UNKNOWN.
WHEN GOD DECIDES TO MAKE YOU WHOLE, HE SEES TO IT THAT THERE BE NO LEFTOVERS.
-Pastor E.A. Adeboye on BEYOND HEALING at RCCG HOLY GHOST CONVENTION 2023 Day 3 Evening Session “Beyond Expectations” 9th August 2023 Part A
Thank you, Father! I have a feeling that something great is about to happen tonight! Because I will be speaking to you for a few minutes so that you can have time to pray.
On the topic: ‘BEYOND HEALING‘.
The Text will be 1 Peter 2:24. Immediately you are saved, you have access to divine healing. The day Jesus Christ hung on that cross, shed His blood for you, cried, ‘It is finished’, your healing was purchased.
The Bible says: ‘By His stripes, you were healed’! You don’t need to beat a man that you need to crucify, they knew they were going to nail Him to the cross, they were going to kill Him so why did they still beat Him? With forty stripes! I know a little of what goes on in the prisons – By God’s grace I’ve been a regular visitor to prisons not as an inmate but as a Pastor since 1975 and I know that in all the civilized countries in the world, when a man is about to be executed tomorrow, they will ask him today, what kind of food will you like to eat?
He will choose his last meal. Occasionally, they may even ask: ‘Do you want to watch a film’? Because they know he is going! So they treat him with some shall we call it, ‘Last respect’. So they knew they were going to crucify Jesus, they knew it and yet they beat Him.
Because He died on the cross, the shedding of the blood on the cross was to buy you Salvation with all the benefits that I told you yesterday. But they beat Him, it’s for your healing! ‘By His stripes, ye were healed’! I think I’ve told you before several years ago, I say I’m sad that I didn’t keep that magazine that one great scientist said that all the sicknesses and diseases would be classified into 39 categories. And so the Lord Jesus took forty stripes, one stripe for each category of sickness and disease. And then He took one extra because He knew that the 39 categories were those that were known then.
At the time they were classifying those diseases, Coronavirus had not yet come but Jesus knew that there are sicknesses and diseases, the type the world has never seen before that are still hiding somewhere so He took the 40th stripe to be ready for them – ‘By His stripes you were healed’.
So that you are going to be healed tonight is not the discussion, the discussion is something greater, something beyond! Oh! The Lord Jesus can heal you by any method He chooses, He can repair Mark 3:1-5, He can replace any part of the body that is not functioning well Mark 8:22-25 or Jesus can completely recreate, give you a brand new part John 9:1-7.
But there is something beyond healing, something called wholeness because it is possible for you to go to the hospital with a headache and then they give you somethings and the headache disappears but the doctor might not know that apart from the headache, you also have stomach disorder so when you are made whole, everything, every form of sickness disappears.
-And in the name that is above every name, somebody is going home tonight whole!
At times, you get healed but there are some little little left behinds but when God decides to make you whole, He sees to it that there be no leftovers 2 Kings 5:1-14 – When God healed Naaman He gave him skin like of a brand new baby – Total healing, no scars left behind! It is called wholeness!
-God is going to heal somebody tonight and there will be no sign you have ever been sick!
And then beyond wholeness, there is living a life with an assurance that you will never be sick again. In Exodus 15:26, God made a promise that if you will obey Him, obey all His commandments, He said He will make sure that no sickness will come near you at all. He said He will become your personal Physician.
Years ago when I was sharing this with some of my children, one of them asked: ‘If I will never be sick again, how will I die and go to Heaven’? You don’t have to be sick to go to Heaven. There are some of us here like I’ve always told you, when it’s time to go, we will go to Church on Sunday, dance, rejoice, come home, eat pounded yam and go – No sickness at all.
That’s what I require for you! But then, there is still something beyond that and that is the ability to carry the healing virtue in yourself that anybody who touches you or you touch, will receive an overflow of healing, of health, from you to them.
-I’m believing God that tonight, someone will begin to lay hands on the sick and they recover!
